Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch

(The longest place name in the world. A town in North Wales. The name translates as "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave" in Welsh.)

Edited because I had to add that the town is split into two smaller villages:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch-isaf (Lower Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch)

and Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch-uchaf (Upper Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch).
